Ingredients

Method

1. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil into a wide frying pan until hot. Add the shallots, sauté until they turn slightly golden. Add the grated ginger, lemon grass and chillies. Cook until they release their essential oils and are fragrant.

2. Next add the minced chicken, sauté for 5-6 minutes until the meat is browned all over.

3. Add the fish sauce and palm sugar; continue to cook for a further 5 minutes.

4. Remove from heat and set aside. Allow this to cool then add to a mixing bowl.

5. To this bowl add together the spring onions, and herbs.

6. Then add the crab meat and finally the glass noodles that have been soaked in boiling water and some lime juice.

7. To fill the squid tubes, fill a piping bag with the chicken and crab mixture and pipe through.

8. Don’t over stuff the squid as it will spill out.

9. Skewer with a stick at the end to seal the end.

10. In a frying pan, heat the remainder of the oil until medium hot and add the squids in batches of 2 or 3.

11. Lower the heat and cook until they are brown all over by turning them.

12. Don’t turn all the time. Wait until they are well browned on one side so they don’t stick.

13. If using a griddle, rub oil over the squid and cook on a medium hot temperature on the griddle.
